Dickkopf-Related Protein 1 (DKK-1) as a Possible Link between Bone Erosions and Increased Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Psoriatic Arthritis: An Ultrasound Study
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a heterogenous systemic inflammatory disorder that affects peripheral joints and skin, but also causes inflammation at entheseal sites, digits (dactylitis) and the axial skeleton. Despite considerable advances, our understanding of the pathogenesis and management of PsA...

description | Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a heterogenous systemic inflammatory disorder that affects peripheral joints and skin, but also causes inflammation at entheseal sites, digits (dactylitis) and the axial skeleton. Despite considerable advances, our understanding of the pathogenesis and management of PsA is hampered by its complex clinical expression. We enrolled patients who met the ClASsification for Psoriatic Arthritis (CASPAR) criteria for PsA (n = 17), and healthy controls (n = 13). The lipid profile, C-reactive protein (CRP) and Dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK-1) circulating levels were measured for all subjects. For the patients with PsA, (1) the erosive character of the articular disease was assessed by a musculoskeletal ultrasound and (2) the cardiovascular risk was evaluated using the Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) chart and the ultrasound measurement of the carotid intima-media thickness. A higher titer of serum DKK-1 was associated with the presence of erosions (p < 0.005) and the cIMT correlated with DKK-1 levels in patients with PsA (r = 0.6356, p = 0.0061). Additionally, we observed a positive correlation between increased cIMT and CRP (r = 0.5186, p = 0.0329). Our results suggest that DKK-1 could be used as an early biomarker for the erosive character of the articular disease and for the assessment of the cardiovascular risk in PsA patients. |
